I suppose that the one good thing is that with a direct bank transfer, once completed, cannot be reversed.
All you have to worry about is whether the funds are coming from a genuine account.
Cash is king, but you have to inspect every note.

A bankers draft for the full amount might work, or insist on going to your local branch of his bank and withdrawing the cash.

Re: Con or Not
Well it was not a con. I picked him up from the train station at 1.30pm and he has just left now with the car.
We went over town and i put the money into my bank and also sorted the paperwork out at the post office.
It was hard seeing my car of 7 years being driven off by someone else. He was and is a very nice guy and i'm happy he brought the car.
So it all worked out well, and i'm very happy with what i got for the car and he is very happy with buying the car.

Re: Con or Not
It sounded a bit scammy to me. Perhaps, with all these scams going about, people have hardened to things that used to run the normal route.
